Easter Early

We celebrated Easter a week early this year. My sister Monica and her family were in town from Texas for the weekend. We all enjoyed spending time at my parent's house on Sunday afternoon. It was especially nice for my mom to have all of her grandkids together. For Easter, she bought them matching T-shirts.
Here is a photo of all the girls standing together and smiling in their matching shirts.

Here is a photo of all the boys kind of standing together, some are smiling, and only a couple are in their matcing shirts. Gotta love differences in gender.

We had a massive Easter egg hunt in which the kids really enjoyed finding eggs hidden around the yard.

Then they all went inside to check out the loot.

It wasn't just the grandkids. My nephew's goat joined in the festivities. AJ tried to pet the goat.

Then, the goat tried to pet AJ.

Ethan and the goat didn't get along. It was obvious they butted heads.

The goat even tried to get in on the action inside the house.

Goat or no goat, it was great to be all together as a family. It's not about matching shirts, easter eggs, or candy. It was wonderful to be with my entire family. The reason we celebrate Easter is to remember that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ made it possible for families to be together forever. For that, I am always grateful.
